Stray Along The Way | How to shoot long exposure motion blur in waterfalls (Beginner's guide) @Strayalongtheway | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Capturing long exposure motion blur is a great way to give an image a sense of movement, and in some instances, a fantastical, dream-like quality.
Long exposure, or using a slow shutter speed, is one of the best ways of capturing waterfalls and in this video we take a look at exactly how to do just that.
Here are the things you need to shoot long exposure motion blur in water:
Equipment:
1. Camera and Lens (The camea I used in this demo: amzn.to/3bGkKZC and the lens:amzn.to/38De9gC)
2. Tripod (One of the best: amzn.to/3ez6GmP)
3: ND / Polarizing Filter (optional) (77mm lens option: amzn.to/38y2lwo)
Camera Settings:
1. Lowest ISO number.
2. Largest f-number (smallest aperture).
3. Slowest shutter speed.
4. Self-timer set to 2-5 seconds.
The Scene and lighting:
1. Look for a scene with moving, tumultuous water.
2. Shoot in the early morning, late evening or even onto the night.
Shooting technique:
1. Keep the camera as stable as possible with a tripod, or by resting the camera on a firm surface.
2. Set your camera settings to accommodate the slowest shutter speed you can.
3. Press the shutter button and remove your hands and wait for the self-timer to set off the shutter after a short delay.
4. Check your image on the back of the camera and using the histogram to make see if you need to change any settings.
If you get all this right, you're going to get some amazing long exposure images with that dreamy motion blur in the water.

![Power banks for outdoor adventures [7 things to consider]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W2nU15xJvU4/hqdefault.jpg "Power banks for outdoor adventures [7 things to consider]
The first power bank I ever got was this Red-E RW100 which was given to me as a gift a few years ago. And its one of those devices that, once I started using it, I really wondered how I got along without it.
I use power banks all the time and for just about everything I do outdoors.
Power banks are great if you use any devices like mobile phones, GoPros, navigation hardware, or portable blue tooth devices.
They are especially great as backup power supplies, and in that sense, they can even be looked at as emergency equipment.
Power banks come in all different shapes and sizes and some are more suited to outdoor and adventure purposes.
In this video, we look at the different kinds of power banks you can get, and some of the things to consider when buying one.
